Book Description
Dewey Webster is admitted country hick from Tennessee. He has torn up numerous bars, hired a mob lawyer to settle a divorce, acted on off-off-off-Broadway, and has written pulp fiction stories. The large-bodied Dewey's adventures take place in 1947. Previously told in the "Dewey Chronicles" series, these stories are combined in one volume for the first time. Follow Dewey as he becomes a covert operator for the U.S. government; fights evil extra-terrestrial aliens; defends his dog in court; and goes back in time to the medieval ages. While Dewey is hard-headed and is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, he has unusual insight and a straightforward approach to life that serves him well. A good right-hand haymaker punch comes in handy, too. Give Dewey a pickup, a shotgun and a good "dawg," and he'll take on anything or anyone at any time.

Book Description
Who was Melvil Dewey? Learn how Dewey's love of organization and words drove him to develop and implement his Dewey Decimal system, leaving a significant and lasting impact in libraries across the country. When Melvil Dewey realized every library organized their books differently, he wondered if he could invent a system all libraries could use to organize them efficiently. A rat-a-tat speaker, Melvil was a persistent (and noisy) advocate for free public libraries. And while he made enemies along the way as he pushed for changes–like his battle to establish the first library school with women as students, through it all he was EFFICIENT, INVENTIVE, and often ANNOYING as he made big changes in the world of public libraries–changes still found in the libraries of today!

The essays contained within this book discuss the topic in clear language that is free from jargon, emphasizing illustrative (and sometimes humorous) anecdotes, experiential learning, and best practices. Rather than a "how-to" guide, the book provides a comprehensive thought exercise for librarians looking to better understand and create spaces for young adults and teenagers. Subjects addressed include important issues like common space, collection development, and the ways in which teens "own" a space, giving librarians an invaluable understanding of what a library space really "says" to young adults.
